Medical Care and Counseling: Click!

Victims of domestic violence also have the right to access medical care and counseling Services. In the UAE there are a number of hospitals and clinics that provide medical care to victims of domestic violence. The victims may seek counseling from a variety of sources, including the police, the courts and Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs).

Legal Representation: Click!

Should a victim of domestic violence decide to press charges against the abuser, they have a right to legal representation. The constitution of UAE guarantees the right to a fair trial, which includes the right to legal representation. Victims may choose to hire their own lawyer.

Risk Assessment Scale

  • 0–4 points: Low Risk. There may be signs of unhealthy behaviour, but immediate physical danger or escalation is not strongly indicated. Caution and self-monitoring are still advised.

  • 5–9 points: Medium Risk. Multiple warning signs of abuse and control are present. The situation may escalate. Support and a safety plan should be seriously considered.

  • 10–15 points: High Risk. There is a significant risk of harm or violence. Urgent action is advised. Consider contacting a support organization, shelter, or law enforcement for protection.
